Atlantic seasonal #hurricane forecast from @ColoradoStateU calls for very active season: 23 named storms, 11 hurricanes & 5 major hurricanes. Extremely warm tropical Atlantic and likely #LaNina are the primary reasons.

CSU hurricane researchers are predicting an above-average Atlantic hurricane season in 2023.

With much warmer than normal Atlantic waters and an expected robust El Niño for the peak of the hurricane season, there's more uncertainty than normal. https://t.co/hZfKCsNlju

[Philip Klotzbach @philklotzbach]

Colorado State University will update its 2023 Atlantic seasonal #hurricane forecast tomorrow, July 6 at 11am EDT.

[Michael M. Bell @michaelmbell]

@russ_schumacher A ground view of that storm looking east from Fort Collins #cowx

[CSU Engineering @CSUEngineering]

With El Niño development appearing certain, CSU hurricane researchers slightly increased their forecast.

One thing researcher @michaelmbell said always rings true: "It takes only one storm near you to make this an active season for you.”
